This is our third Dr. Seuss stop-motion animation. We made The Cat in the Hat as part our Read Across America day in celebration of the birthday of Dr. Seuss. You probably should not watch this when your mother is out. If you like it, check out our other two movies, Horton Hatches the Egg and And to Think That I Saw it on Mulberry Street.

This song was made popular by The New Seekers in the 1970s as a Coca Cola television commercial. Today the Brainwaves sing their version of "I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing (in Perfect Harmony) in honor of the birthday of Nobel Peace Prize winner Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

The picture of the Earth on their shirts was taken by Apollo astronauts from the moon.

Here they are, all your favorites; Harry, Ron, Herminone, Hagrid and Dumbledore. There's even a three-headed dog, a dragon and a troll!

This stop-motion animation was made by the Brainwaves. We are second graders. As our teacher read the book aloud, we made a flow chart. Next, we wrote a script. Several students recorded the words, (the narrators). Some of us made the pictures, (the illustrators), others moved them and took the pictures, (the animators).

How to Eat Fried Worms, written by Thomas Rockwell, was first published in 1973. It is number 96 on the American Library Association list of most commonly challenged books, 1990-2000. Rockwell is the son of American artist Norman Rockwell. According to Wikipedia, "He was the recipient of the Mark Twain Award, the California Young Reader Medal, and the Sequoyah Book Award for How to Eat Fried Worms, which was made into a TV movie in 1985 and was filmed as a theatrical release in 2006. He lives in Poughkeepsie, New York."

This is the 75th anniversary of Dr. Seuss's first book "And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street. According to Wikipedia, the book was written and illustrated by Dr. Seuss and Robert Carington and was first published in 1937. "It was Seuss's first children's book, originally titled 'A Story That No One Can Beat,' the manuscript was rejected by over 43 publishing companies (precise numbers vary, even from Seuss himself, who counted 27 and 28) but was eventually published by Vanguard Press. Seuss has stated that he nearly burned the manuscript before its publication after being rejected by so many publishers."

The Creedence Clearwater Revival 1970 song "Lookin' Out My Back Door" was partly inspired by the book. Lead singer John Fogerty stated in interviews that the song was actually written for his then three-year old son, Josh. Fogerty has also said that the reference to a parade passing by was inspired by the Dr. Seuss book, "And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street". We included the song during our closing credits.

Here's is our final video of the year. The Brainwaves singing Randy Newman's "You've Got a Friend in Me" from Toy Story. This year we made a number of videos with the theme of peace and friendship; "Give Peace a Chance", "International Peace Day Video Project", "Pinwheels for Peace 2011", "Nobel Peace Prize Winners", "We Shall Overcome" and Taylor Swift's "Mean".
